#322: SimFactory metadata deleted by periodic filesystem purges --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: --------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Comment (by hinder):
Another (more complicated, possibly too complicated and confusing) option is to have the simulation metadata stored in a work filesystem and the actual data only in the scratch filesystem. They could be connected by symbolic links in the work filesystem so the user "sees" a unified simulation there. SimFactory itself would know how to handle these links when archiving, purging or getting the simulation.
